Anidle Master Anime Index & Database

The Anidle Catalog serves as the official reference database for our daily comparative guessing puzzles. Spanning over three decades of animation history—from foundational 1980s and 1990s masterpieces to modern seasonal hits—our index cross-references release years, canonical genre classifications, and historical MyAnimeList (MAL) popularity rankings.

How Titles Are Ranked & Evaluated

Every entry in the catalog is indexed with three primary comparative markers:

• Release Period: Represents the calendar year in which the television series or feature film premiered.
• Global Popularity & Score Rank: Reflects the title's standing relative to global community score aggregations. In the game, a lower rank number (e.g. #1) denotes a higher overall standing than a larger number (e.g. #300).
• Genre Taxonomy: Titles are tagged with official genres (such as Sci-Fi, Psychological, Shonen, Romance, or Action) to enable inductive player deduction.

Historical Eras Represented

Our catalog includes milestone works across multiple production eras: the cell-animated golden age (such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop), the digital transition era of the mid-2000s (such as Death Note and Monster), and the modern studio era (such as Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Jujutsu Kaisen).
